Not So Valuable, After All.

A gentleman being about to move his
family to the country, and having a
horse that he desired to send by rail,
applied to a friend who is powerful
among railroad mon to secure con-
venient transportation for him at
reasonable price. The horse was duly
shipped in charge of q groom, and
after going a small part of the distance
was transferred at certain junction to
another line. At this point the freight
agent inquired the value of the horse,
inasmuch as the railroad company
charges for transportation according to
the worth of the animal. Money
wouldn't buy him., replied the faithful
John. This is the best horse that ever
travelled over your road, and if any
thing happens to him it will cost you a
big pile" and thereupon he launched
out in q eulogy of the animal that
Maud S. or Bucephalus would hardly
have deserved. The fact was that the
beast was good, intelligent family
horse, pet of the children, and worth
in the market about S225. The agent
telegraphed to headquarters that
highly valuable horse was offered for
shipment, and requested instructions.
Send him on and charge SO, was the
reply. The horse reached it's destina-
ton, and so in due time did the bill, to
the horror and amaZement OF the own
er. Inquiries and explanations fol-
lowed, the charge was reduced, and the
faithful Dobbin was deprived of his
short-lived glory. Post.

COLONEL J. G. ANDREWS is known as
"The Diamond King" of San Francisco,
and his store as Diamond Palace. I"
There are q number Of diamonds set
in the ceiling and walls of the store,
and the diamond decorations of the
establishment are worth fortune. He
recently appeared in public wearing on
his scarf a pigeon-blood ruby sur
rounded with diamonds. On his left
little finger sparkled large solitaire
blue diamond. From his watch-chain
dangled Masonic mark studded with
large diamonds, and on the left side of
his vest, just peeping out from under
the lapel of his coat, was a massive
gold medal, with fringe of diamonds
running all around it.

ranks with mugwump help. For this rea-
son he selected Endicott for Secretary Of
War-a thoroughly respectable and thos-
oughly incompetent old gentleman for the
place. He filed the Federal Offices with
mugwumps, and made hamboyant exhi-
bition OF enforcing the civil-seryice law.
Pat Collins, the spoils leader, was thrown
TO the whales. The spoilsmen were put
on the back seats and the mugwumps came
clear mp to the front singing hallelujahs
for Cleveland and reform, and promising
to rescue the State from the clutches OF
the Republicans. They have made one or
two attempts since with lamentable results.
They still cherish the hope that If they
can retain the Offices they will carry Mas
sachusetts. The spoilsmen, however, rec
ognize the gravity OF the situation. They
know il is hopeless, and that, how
ever far the State may have drifted
from its old Republican mornings. under
false promises, she has come back to stay.
In this dilemma they want the spells for
the balance of the term. They have sac
rifced two years and a half of pickings
and patronage in favor of the mugwump
alliance, and now that they find their allies
are worse than membranes they want
the spoils for the balance of the time.
That is all there is to the situation in Mas
sachusetts. and if the President is con-
vinced by this time that his case is hope
less in Massachusetts, the cry of the hungry
spoilsmen will be regarded, and the Re-
publican clerks and ex- Union soldiers will
be given their walking tickets. IL is only
in States where Cleveland has deemed it
probable he might be successful that he
has retained Republicans iR Office. In
hopeless States, like Pennsylvania and IL
linois, they were hustled out long ago.
The proceedings of the State convention
held recently show that an apparently
successful effort was made to keep the work
of the smelling committee out of sight, but
the skeleton is there all the same in the
Democratic closet.-Ckicago Tribune.

The Massachusetts Spells Democracy.

The spoils Democracy or Massac husettS
may at least claim to be philosophical. III
they cannot have the whole loaf they are
willing IN this case to take what would be
equivalent TO q little more than quarter.
The postoffice and custom house of Bos-
ton, as we'll those of some of the other
large cities of that State, are models of ex
cellent business management; indeed, their
reputation in this regard is SO well known
that there has long been suspicion that
the working force could not have been re-
cruited from Democratic ranks. The
rumor also grew that great number of the
clerkships were held by ex-Union soldiers,
reinstated by Gen. Corse and Mr.. Salton-
stall. This of itself was another indica-
ton that Democrats had been dsregarded.
At last the State Central Committee
appointed subcommittee to in
yestigate the matter. The sub
committee did not have very pleas
ant time of il. They were rather peremp-
torily told by Corse and Saltonstall to
mind their own business. When COM
plants we're made they were referred TO the
President. When they requested the Post
master and Collector to dismiss Repub-
licans they were met with an emphatic re-
fusal. Notwithstanding the obstacles
thrown in their way they managed to find

or SO per cent, drawing $4,000, 600 In sal
aries which otherwise would have gone into
Democratic pockets. Such disproportion
in the number Of employees and in the
amount of wages. not to speak of patron
age, was like red rag to the Democratic
bull. The spoilsmen have taken this up in
earnest. They are furious in their denun-
citation of the Government officials as enc
mics OF the Democratic party and demand
, their removal.
The Postmaster and Collector naturally
enough fell back upon the President as
the responsible party. Mr.. Cleveland has
always cherished the conviction that Mas
sachusetts is a debatable State, and he
F, has made his appointments there with the
view of switching il off into the Democratic

Mrs. Cleveland and Governor Foraker.

In an interview with a representative of
the Associated Press, General A. S. Bush
nell, member of Governor Foraker's
staff, authorized the following statement
concerning Mrs. Clevelands reception of
Governor and Mrs. Foraker at the
Academy, in Philadelphia.
preceded by Governor Beaver, of
PENNSYLVANIA and his staff, Governor and
Mrs. Foraker and our party advanced to
be received. Governor Beaver and party
were warmly greeted 10y both the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, who shook hands
with them cordially. President Cleveland
then shook hands with Governor Foraker,
but his face was as expressionless as that
of sphinx. The Governor presented Mrs.
Foraker and the President shook hands
with her. Governor Foraker was then intro
duced to Mrs. Cleveland and extended his
hand TO her. She paid no attention TO
his proffered hand, but, taking half q
step backward and folding her hands,
stared straight at him without sign
of recognition. Apparently giving
no heed to this direct cut, the Governor
presented Mrs. Foraker. Mrs. Cleveland
still stood with folded hands, declining
Mrs. Forakers extended hand, and ac-
kuowledging her presence only by freez-
ing inclination of her head. Gen. Axline
and his wife were presented 10 the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, and both shook
hands with them, and Immediately after
ward Mrs. Bushnell and myself were in
troduced, and were received in the same
cordial manner. The cut of Governor and
Mrs. Foraker was made more direct by our
reception than il would have been had
Mrs. Cleveland not shaken hands with the
remainder of the Ohio party. 1t has been
stated that Mrs. Cleveland was not shaking
hands with any of her guests, but that is a
great mistake, for she received both those
who preceded and those who followed Gov
crnor and Mrs. Foraker very cordially.
Regret was expressed on all sides that
the incident should have occurred, for
everybody felt that Mrs. Cleveland, as the
first lady of the land, could not afford to
snub the chief magistrate of the third
State in the Union, TO say nothing of the
affront to q lady OF Mrs. Foraker's beauti-
full character. '-Springfeld CO.. dispatch,

AN exhaustive series of comparisons
has just been concluded by Auwers
which has involved the taking into ac-
count of more than 10000 measure
ments of the solar diameter. His work
has resulted in the belief that there is
no good ground for recent allegations
that the actual size of the chief lumi-
nary of our system undergoes peri
odical change. Those changes which
have been observed, or thought to have
been discovered, must be ascribed to
the influence of temperature upon the
instruments employed in the process of
measurement, excepting those that de-
pend upon the periodic variation of the
radius vector in the earth's orbit. This
conclusion might have been anticipated,
but it is consoling to have all doubts in
regard to it set at rest by one who is
acknowledged to be competent to COM
pare and decide. OF course, the dis
cussion refers only to changes of mag
nitude great enough to be perceptible
at the distance of some 10000
miles. Neither does it include the slow
and steady contraction of the solar bulk
which some of our best physicists be-
lieve TO be q necessary accompaniment
to the cooling process that is continu-
ally going on in the sun. A contrac-
tion of very few feet per year is con-
sidered to be sufficient to account for
the probable cooling, and this would
have to be observed through the course
of great many centuries before it
could be detected, as 500 miles at the
solar surface corresponds to about one
second of observed arc, and one-tenth
of that quantity is a very small one. 1t
is we'll known that precise micrometric
measurements of the heavenly bodies
and the celestial spaces do not date
back much more than single century.

WILLIAM ALLEN, of San Francisco, q
boy, shot and wounded large hawk
that was soaring away with weazel in
its talons. After it fell he hurried to
pluck off its large feathers, when the
bird suddenly threw its wings about
his body and sank its beak ferociously
into his cheek while both arms were
pinioned. Finally he released one long
enough to take out a small pen-knife,
with which he stabbed the hawk. The
stabs had but little effect. Fortunately
a man, Martin WEIGH, came along and
rescued the young and almost ex-
hausted hunter. He will soon be all
right again, but a slight scar will re-
main for life. The hawk measured
eight feet from wing to wing.

A HUNTER in Butts County, Ga,
followed his dog into a cave. He
pressed forward, half feeling his way,
expecting every moment to meet a
terrible encounter with some ravenous
beast, as the indications at the mouth
of the cave showed that some wild ami
NAL was making his home in this dark
abode. After he had gone several
hundred feet he discovered numerous
bones scattered around, and while he
was stopped, with his hair standing
straight on mis- head, wondering what
to do, his ears were greeted with a
mighty roar like the falling of many
waters in the distance, and he fled with
out waiting to discover the cause.

A WRITER in the London Fair Trade
gives it us the result of very careful
inquiry that 10000 Americans have
summered in England, and that the
average expenditure of each has been
$1,000. The figures are probably well
within bounds; those relating to ex-
penditure certainly are so. Here, then,
is a sum of $9O.OOO,000 spent in sum-
mer travel in one particular direction.
What the grand total of summer ex-
penditures of Americans in Paris,
Rome, the Orient, the mountains OF
the Pacific and Atlantic slopes, and
the various watering-places of their
own country may be is not ascertain
able, but 800, 900, 600 is not a wild
guess.
